It still seems like it's too soon for the next album cycle, but I'd also be a fool for complaining about more Jimmy Eat World.
It feels like they recorded this album super fast haha. Didn't they like JUST get into the studio? And they're already finishing it? Also that Jim/Aoki song is...not bad.
I think in their last instagram post that they spent a week in that studio in LA but are finishing the record back in AZ (likely their studio setup)
the engineer is just barely less important than the producer. which is why a lot of times the producer is engineering as well but not always. the engineer is essentially the hands and ears of the producer. the producer wants the guitar to sound like x, the engineer knows what mic/amp/processing chain to use to get that sound
Does tracking normally take just one week? i feel like that cant be enough time for the producer to really explore their creativity, given that there's far less than one day per song. But maybe it's the norm.
Tracking can definitely happen quickly, especially after 10 years. Pre-production was probably all done in their own studios. These guys are pros.
Really interested to hear how they follow up Integrity Blues. That album admittedly wasn’t as much of a hit for me as it was for a lot of this forum, but that said, I still really like it and expect it to grow on me in time.
I remember Jim doing an interview a month or two ago and he said he wasn't sure if the album would be coming out early Summer or later on in the year. I can see it coming in the spring tbh
The Jebediah split came out after Clarity but before Bleed American. It was originally released in 2000.
The thought of these guys showing up in the studio firing on all cylinders and just getting it done is so damn exciting, nevermind the fact that the producer of Integrity Blues and the engineer of Futures are both also on board. Holy shit.
I’ve been cleaning out my closet since we’re moving and I recently found the JEW shirt I bought when I saw them open for Green Day in 2004. It’s a size small but I was a tiny 14 year old so I never wore it and it just sat in a drawer for 15 years but now it fits perfectly!
Integrity Blues sounded really good. By the time a new album out it will have been 3 years. Also, I guess that kinda speaks to how production sounded on Damage. I’m no expert, but I didn’t have the full sound of their recent work. I think it had an impact on how often I listen to that album.
